"My daughter had been getting phone calls at all hours of the night, but whoever was at the end of the line kept hanging up. I used DWI-Records.org to find a lot of scary information about what turned out to be her secret boyfriend. I confronted her about it and convinced her that he wasn't a good guy if he had a bank lien and a DWI arrest record. Thanks!"

-- Carol R.

"I used your site to check up on a new business partner at a little antique business, I found that he had three DWI arrests on his record. He wasn't the kind of guy I wanted driving my pricey antiques around in the back of his truck. You helped me avoid a potentially serious headache, I'm so glad I found this service."

-- Tom Fermann

"My neighbor had been down on her luck since she said she got laid off from her delivery job. I felt bad for her, so I offered her some babysitting work. But like I do for all my babysitters, I checked her out with your site. I found that she had two DWI convictions! Laid off my butt! Needless to say, I didn't let her drive my kid to the park."

-- Anna Peterson

"After a string of real crazy girlfriends, I don't take any chances. I keep dui-records.org in my favorites and look into anyone I start dating. I've probably saved a lot of time and sanity by staying away from people irresponsible enough to have multiple DWI records and a criminal history of drug abuse and violence."
